Group Lead Volunteer(s) to lead the Scout Group

Date: 10th Mar 2025 Author: Helen Hobbs

We’re currently looking for a Group Lead Volunteer (GLV) or Volunteers to help lead our Scout Group.

This is a management role, and we need someone who can provide leadership, motivation and guidance to our adult volunteers. You don’t need any prior experience of Scouting to apply for this role as any necessary training and support will be tailored to your needs. A large part of this role involves managing and supporting adult volunteers, including those working directly with young people.

The most successful Group Lead Volunteers recognise the importance of valuing the hard work of volunteers, seeks to ensure that they feel happy and supported week after week, and that they are thanked for what they do.

The GLV role needs a couple of core skills, such as: Providing direction, Working with people, Achieving results, Enabling change, Using resources and managing time & personal skills. 

We’re looking for someone that can grow into the role.

So, if you have some of the skills and the drive and enthusiasm to develop Scouting at the 26th Bristol, you could be the person we are looking for!

If you are interested in applying (or learning more about) this opportunity, please complete the form below and we’ll contact you.
